Bridge over the Blackwater
This leads to an underpass beneath the A331 and is blocked by bollards at the far end. I would guess it's for emergency vehicles only.
A small electricity sub station is on the left.

The pedestrian is just passing St Michael's Junior School, with Park Church just ahead of him on the opposite side of the road
Mending a telegraph pole in Church Lane East
The very first lines that were hung from poles were telegraph wires. Places was connected to the network with just one or two lines – very few poles were needed. With the invention of the telephone, this all changed. At first, rival companies did not want to share their poles with one another. Inevitably, legislation was passed to compel it.
Most telegraph poles are about 30ft above the ground with 6 feet planted in the ground.They are tested by a B.T. Openreach operative after they have been “planted” for twelve years and then at ten yearly intervals. Telegraph poles are still plentiful in the UK and Ireland although they have been completely eradicated in Holland.
They also have their own web site Link
Approaching a roundabout in Church Lane East
You know that word association game: black-white; Morecambe-Wise; Milton Keynes-roundabouts. A friend of mine supervises Geography dissertations for the University of Portsmouth. He always gives students two actual titles he has rejected: 'Rivers' (too broad) and 'The Roundabouts of Basingstoke' (too narrow)) But where did the idea for an "island", around which traffic could flow, come from? It was a Frenchman. In 1791 the architect and engineer Pierre L'Enfant proposed a number of circular intersections in Washington, D.C. Fast forward to 1905 and we have New York City's Columbus Circle, widely considered the country's first circular intersection designed for the automotive era. Known as rotaries, they certainly sped up traffic- but also the number of collisions . Then in 1966 the UK came up with a marvellous idea: this required vehicles entering a circular intersection to yield to those already on it. As to the two countries that started them, France has the highest roundabout ratio with one roundabout for every 45 intersections and the US one roundabout for every 1,118 intersections.
